Destined~2!

"How long are you going to stare?" A voice that could make a normal human dead freeze in fret reached, Subaru's eardrums. But to him, he was hearing something he never imagined before, could have existed in reality.

"I wasnt planning to, but beautiful things leave me often speechless." He walked slowly toward the center of the space where he could be visible from any corner.

The horn adorning girl sighed and moved her gaze toward Subaru. Cyan met Azure. Both felt their heart beating like never before. Even in face of danger or when death was knocking on the door, they never felt this kind of impulse. Naturally, neither showed it on their faces and remained poker.

"You being here means, those metal scraps are done for huh." Even her subordinates were in question, there wasnt a single ounce of change in her emotions. She aloofly stared at the ceiling of the cave with her leg draped over another. Even though she had an old rag-like one piece over her body, the skin exposure was plenty noticeable.

"Aren't you going to fight me? I mean if I was you then I might have ambushed upon realizing your presence". Subaru was talking in a relaxed manner because he already had done his preparation. He had various counters and defences against any kind of attack, prepared already, and was just wasting time evaluating his opponent.

" I can't defeat you, then why should I struggle?." Subaru raised his brows but without him asking, the other one continued.

"The time you breached my cursed barrier, I lost. But I would appreciate it if you let me live tho". Subaru chuckled.

" And why should I do so? Your metal pets have taken hundreds of lives and tried to take away my most precious person too. And now you are asking me to spare you?" Subaru had an amused look on his face but only that. For some reason, he wasnt able to take out the anger he had kept for so long. He just...didnt know what was happening to him.

"Hah! Guess it can't be helped. Well I think, I should try right?" As she said, she finally dropped her gaze back to Subaru before a black vortex started forming on either side of Subaru.

He didn't panic and just stared at her, before tapping his toe once on the ground. As he did, a golden spell formed under him, covering the two vortices, in it. Before the two pure sources of cures could reach Subaru, they got sucked away without leaving a trace.

Zero Two who saw this didn't have a pleasant look on her face before she launched another attack. With her eyes closed, she manipulated the surrounding by attracting every single mountain cut rock toward Subaru.

Subaru with his higher-ranked pysckonesis crushed each one of them without letting single debris fall upon his opponent.

[A/N: He just doing this subconsciously]

"You sure are a bothersome one." With an angry expression, she created ripples in the air and unexpectedly started to bend space in real-time. It would be a lie to say that Subaru wasnt surprised, but he never got terrified. Using a simple clap he dispelled her formation like a soft blow over an ignited matchstick.

The receiver of such a faint blow was taken aback, as she registered what happened in a single instance.

"You...you have the blessing". She muttered something which Subaru wasnt able to grasp fully because of the change in air happening behind her.

A gate suddenly opened just some meters behind her back, which shot out several varieties of monsters, ranging from D to A rank. Whether they were a group of ground Apes or mystic Leopards, they charged at Subaru like fanatics. But all in vain.

[Field of Obliteration]

With an invisible force field formed around him and covering a certain area, he formed a spell that could disintegrate any being belonging to a certain level. This spell was something he recreated after he gained the knowledge of space magic.

Nothing touched him, and he continued staring at the frustrated pink-haired girl who was growling now with her canines exposing dangerously.

Her horns started glittering red with eyes becoming visibly furious. Subaru retreated from the disintegration field as he saw the incoming monster stampede subduing.

" Hah, let's stop now". Subaru exhaled before spreading out all his ten mana threads and connecting them with Zero Two's body. She shivered with her eyes going wide in a fret. She didn't even get the time to think about this sudden development when her very life force of her started drying up.

"NOOOOOO!!!" Screaming in pain she tried to jump toward Subaru with her fierce nails pointed at his nape, but she failed. Her body started floating in mid-air, and like that almost 99% of her mana was sucked out in a flash. She was frightened to the core. Shaking from head to toe. She knew death was inevitable and the reason for her living until this point wouldn't be fulfilled.

"Please don't kill me! Please let me go! I just need him!! I just want to see him again! Please! I can't die without meeting him again. Hugging him again! I can't vanish without confessing my love for him again!! Please I beg you...please". She was weeping uncontrollably with her mouth spouting whatever her heart most desired. From any perspective, one could tell what desperation actually meant, after seeing her.

Subaru was baffled by her reaction as he never predicted for her to be craving for someone so badly to the point where she begged like this. He slowly descended her to the ground when she curled up in a ball while crying out loud.

" Just once! They promised that I will be reunited with him again! They lied! The goddess lied! Everyone lied! I..I...I just wanted to be with him again...but..." The heart-wrenching sobs were piercing Subaru's soul continuously. It was so long since he felt something like this and he wasnt even knew why it was happening.

"Hey listen..."

Subaru tried to walk toward her but she crawled back and while shivering shouted.

"Do..dont touch me. I can't let anyone touch me other than him. If you want to kill me then do it with your spell. But don't try to come near...please. " Now Subaru was curious as well frustrated at her response.

"I will neither kill you nor touch you. So calm down and allow yourself to relax a bit. Like this, you will become crazy and the person whome you are searching for won't even recognize you". On his remark, she flinched before her movements stopped at once.

She wiped her tears in an instant and looked toward Subaru.

" Really? You..you won't kill me? I mean you won't..."

"Yes. When I said I won't then that's that. Don't panic and calm down. You are in a far worse state because of lack of mana and forcing yourself would only leave permanent internal scars." Subaru tried to keep his voice as warm as possible.

He didn't know anymore why he was so empathic toward her. His liking toward her face because of last life? Or was he expecting something more? Something which was wrapped inside him since he was reborn here?

He didn't know and right now, he didn't want to think either. He just wanted to hug her and tell her that everything is gonna be alright.

It took her some minutes to finally regain composure. As she calmed down she started collecting her long hairs and dusting off them gently. Subaru looked at her beautiful smile as she caressed her hair.

"He liked my hair so much. I hope he doesn't mind this minor change". She was muttering these words to herself but the enhanced sense of Subaru caught her every syllable like she was shouting those words. He gave her points for being so optimistic that just after escaping the death order she was already planning her future.

'Wait...'

" Were your hairs not like this since the start?" His mind was screaming to get his desired answer and fortunately, he got one.

"No. When he was with me my hairs were not like this. They were of different shade and he totally loved to play with them. He stroked my hair gently whenever we met. He loved to comb my hair whenever I get out of the bath and after that, we end up.." Her words ended with giggles as she continued arranging her sakura hairs. Her words were oozing with love for a certain person.

But right now Subaru was in no mind to think anything about it. As he heard her words, his hands started trembling with his eyes at their widest spot. His throat started drying up with breathing choked painfully. He was at a loss for words with his muscles tensing up little by little. He knew what he was thinking could be all futile but the facts in front of him didn't let him shrug it off so easily.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally was able to bend his tongue and form a simple word...

"Mira...?"

The girl in front of him jerked with her hand movement halting all of a sudden. Her eyes also became large as she slowly lifted her head and directed her gaze toward the source of the voice. It didn't take her much time to mutter a word that she always shouted inside her mind while thinking about certain someone.

"Dar...ling..?"

"Subaru Nishimiya".

A/N: What great timing to appear donut san. Well, I would like to explain something.

Zero two is her previous life yandere, that's for sure. And how she ended up here would be unfolded in the next few chapters.

Anyway, her mental state is quite shaken up because she was in this world alone for a long time when Subaru had his girls beside him. So don't complain about the way she reacts and behaves.

And on the final note...my Ko-fi is now active so you know...if you like.....haha!

Drop a comment tho..its for free~
